who cares about windows? besides, havent you heard of VNC? i can access my pc anywhere. besides, GIMP is horribly unstable on windows.

really? please tell me how you make a line in GIMP. in photoshop it's a button in the toolbar as it's a standard operation.

ive worked with photoshop and it's easy to do basic things, not true for GIMP.
think im the only one that feels this way?
"I find the GIMP invaluable, and also maddeningly unintuitive. I’ve been using it for years and can still barely do anything with it." -- Steve Yegge (author of
Wyvern (an award-winning MMORPG) and has
a popular weblog about programming.)
---------- IRC conversation -----------
07:00 < Gravis> ha! even renowned programmers think GIMP is "maddeningly unintuitive"
07:01 <@fugu> um, "it is"
07:02 < Gravis> but seriously, if anyone, dont you think those GIMP tools (pun intended) would listen to famous programmers?
07:02 <@fugu> no.
07:02 < Gravis> yes, they would... if they listened to anyone.
07:03 <@fugu> if you write a program, you write it so that you can use it.
07:03 <@fugu> whoever wrote it the interface, did so for some reasons
07:03 <@fugu> not saying that they are good reasons.
07:03 <@fugu> or that they are transferable, or anything
07:04 < Gravis> maybe they are just masochists
07:04 <@fugu> maybe it's a social experiement
07:04 <@fugu> "hhaahahaha! let's see how far we can go and still have people using it!"
07:04 < Gravis> i would believe that more than "it's a good interface if you would just RTFM"
